People Management Course for Young Executives

Helping talented young leaders manage people for the first time
or manage people at a new level.

People Don’t Know What They Don’t Know

  • In most engagements, we’ll cover the following ideas (with a special focus on those that apply directly to the deficits that have been identified):

    • Transitioning to a new level of leadership of people

    • Building trust and credibility with others

    • The role of emotional intelligence in leadership

    • Becoming a person of influence

    • Dealing with conflict and criticism

    • The power of effective communication

    • Delegating with confidence

    • Giving effective feedback

    • How to develop talented people

    • Leading teams and managing relationships

    • How to have regular and effective one-on-one meetings

    • How to have regular and effective team meetings

    • How the executive’s Predictive Index results affect their management style and effectiveness

  • The seven sessions should take place in no more than 12 weeks. It’s important to make the coaching experience a priority and to keep the momentum going.

  • Because each organization and situation is unique, the cost can change based on the work that is needed. But, in most cases, it will be less than 5% of the young executives total compensation and less than 2% of the total compensation of them and their team.

    Additional executives can join the experience at an incremental rate.

The single most valuable asset that we have as business leaders is our people–in particular, our high-potential young leaders. Over the last three decades, I’ve found that relentlessly empowering, investing in, and training these young people can be the highest ROI work that any leader can do.

On the flip side, few things are more frustrating than when you promote a high-potential leader into a new role and find that they are under-managing their team. You end up with unnecessary tension, negative attitudes, low output, and a lot of distraction from the work that needs to be done. And, if this is not handled quickly and well, you can end up losing a potential superstar.

That’s Why I Created the
People Management Course for Young Executives

This seven-session experience is customized to each leader, so we’ll identify areas for improvement in an introductory session with both the young executive(s) and their supervisor. During our sessions, we define and track these areas so we can ensure concrete progress throughout our work together.

This approach works well for a single leader, or a group of leaders, and can be adjusted for first-time executives or for someone you’re asking to take on a larger role (such as COO or CFO) in your organization.
